Battle of Il Ticino

The Battle of Il Ticino (1447) was a naval battle of the Lombardy Wars (1435-1459) between Venice and Milan, taking place on the Ticino River (an estuary of the Po River) in Lombardy. The result was a victory for Milan's fleet of 22 ships over 10 Venetian ships.

Battle
The Venetian admiral Frangibus da Nuvolento and a fleet of 10 ships attacked the Milanese fleet of Pietro da Milano, consisting of 22 ships, hoping to stop Milanese trade down the Ticino River. The Milanese outnumbered the Venetians and Nuvolento was captured, but 15 Milanese ships were sunk in the process. Nuvolento later escaped prison, leaving Milan without any gains.
